JOIN US
Who can join?
Any driver with a licence to drive in Great Britain may join as an Associate. Associate Members are from a broad spectrum of the community. The Group is advised by members of the Police force.
There is nothing magic about Advanced Driving. The drivers who come to our Group already possess knowledge and skill otherwise they would never get from A to B.
Advanced Driving is just honing those skills using a sytematic method of car control as laid down in Roadcraft, along with a more in depth study of why and how we do things combined with concentration and observation. Our main objective is to become more aware of other drivers, your own capabilities and to promote road safety.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ?
It is necessary to become an Associate Member of the Group for insurance purposes. One years membership is included in your initial cost. This is normally £85 but if you are under 26 years old the cost is discounted to £78. This includes a copy of the Highway Code, a copy of the Roadcraft Manual (the Police Drivers Handbook, which we also use as our "bible"), the test fee and as many guidance sessions as it takes for you to reach test standard. That could be as little as £1 per hour, so we consider it to be very good value for money. Once you have passed your test it costs £22.50 per year to remain a member of RoSPA. This includes a quarterly 'Care on the Road' magazine and will also cover the cost of your re-test every three years.
